Aha. 'Oversimplification'.

OK. Then here an excerpt from an assessment prepared for the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US armed forces in March 1948 (‘Top Secret’, JCS paper 1684/11, dated 31 March 1948 , copy in Decimal File 1946-1948, Plans and Operations Division, 091 Palestine TS (Section IIA, Case 6), Record Group 319, National Archives, USA). Between others, it was listing aims of 'Zionist leaders in Palestine' (feel free to find out who were the leaders in question, and their functions since May 1948: I promise, that's going to be an interesting mind-trip!):

- ‘Zionist strategy will seek to involve [the United States] in a continuously widening and deepening series of operations indented to secure maximum Jewish objectives.’

The same document listed these objectives as follows:

- A) initial Jewish sovereignty over a portion of Palestine;

- B) acceptance by great powers of the right to unlimited immigration;

- C) the extension of Jewish sovereignty over all of Palestine;

- D) the expansion of ‘Erez Israel’ into Transjordan and into portions of Lebanon and Syria, and

- E) the establishment of Jewish military and economic hegemony over the entire Middle East.
